Adoration Of The Magi

A Child born and so known and told
Gifts of frankincense, myrrh and gold
Three Wise Men to distance far

Guided by heaven's shining star
A life of devotion, grace and praise
To fill the unfolding of His days
Let it be ever known, ever heard
Jesus, His life, His love, His Divine WORD.

A Blessed and Merry Christmas to All.

Mormon Tabernacle Choir - Hallelujah, Christmas

So BE it...

A season of JOY ~ Hallelujah


Many a cause many a peace plea
Within our hearts from sea to sea
From shores, to mountains, to farm and field, vast and far
Love ever the light of each shining star
A season of JOY in pious celebration mark December days
And we in the embrace of spirit sing Hallelujah in PRAISE.


PEACE

Sleep Dear Child

Sleep dear child, this joyous day
Sleep this night, with stars above
Know the light, of God's love
Sleep dear child, you'll find the way
Sleep this night, the day is done
When you wake, you'll greet the sun
Wondrous night, this sky of blue
Brilliant stars, shining new
Rising sun, then night shall be
A new day for our hearts' glee
Gone this day, and come the dawn
You will find, a bright new morn.

Five Golden Rings

On the 5th Day of Christmas my true love sent to me

Five golden rings
Five blessings do they bring
Each finger circled in gold ever bright
Holding splendor and wondrous light
THE WAY the first finger does call
The second seeks TRUTH for all
The third is POWER to do and be
The fourth LOVE shared with a you, a me
The fifth is GRACE divine
All in harmonious devotion mine
A hand with five golden rings
Five blessings do they bring.


Rose Marie Raccioppi


Each finger to affirm
five meditations in our grasp
THE WAY, TRUTH, POWER, LOVE, GRACE
held in Oneness
shared in Glory.

Four Calling Birds

On the 4th Day of Christmas my true love sent to me

Four calling birds
A calling ever ever heard
The voice of song so very sweet
Upon the wings of Spirit to greet
A call to peace, gratitude, faith and love
To this wondrous earth and heaven above
And to those in memory now cast
Love for days now past
To the hearts and souls of all that live
A calling to all for life's gift to give.

Blessings to All

It is Happening Right Now

It is happening right now...

Cold be this December winter day
North winds at their windy play
Snow dusting on all I see
The magic of snow flakes falling upon me
Gather we all for blessings, love and cheer
For that special Christmas Day is mighty near.

Much love to ALL,
